WELP
Well damn. As they say: “Dat profile.”
Well that is most certainly a thing.
Also I stopped by a second hand bookstore and got a book called A Samba For Sherlock. It’s supposed to be a Sherlock Holmes crime comedy set in Rio de Janeiro.
I opened it randomly on a page where Sherlock tears the clothes of a gorgeous Brazilian woman and is about to take her right here and now in the moonlit garden.

WANT TO SEE YOUR OWN SHERLOCK STORY IN PRINT?
SHERLOCKOLOGY AND MX PUBLISHING HAVE TEAMED UP IN SUPPORT OF THE UNDERSHAW PRESERVATION TRUST, TO OFFER FANS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THEIR VERY OWN SHERLOCK HOLMES SHORT STORY PUBLISHED IN A BOOK!
WHAT IS THE BOOK?
The upcoming book, ‘Sherlock’s Home: The Empty House’ is to be a collection of short stories and poems centered around the Sherlock Holmes canon characters and for the benefit of the Undershaw Preservation Trust.
The aim is to give aspiring writers with an interest in Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle, the opportunity to see their writing in print, while primarily raising awareness for Undershaw.
“Well, I have a trade of my own. I suppose I am the only one in the world. I’m a consulting detective, if you can understand what that is. Here in London we have lots of Government detectives and lots of private ones. When these fellows are at fault they come to me, and I manage to put them on the right scent. They lay all the evidence before me, and I am generally able, by the help of my knowledge of the history of crime, to set them straight. There is a strong family resemblance about misdeeds, and if you have all the details of a thousand at your finger ends, it is odd if you can’t unravel the thousand and first.”
it’s probably a bad idea to draw a character you knew existed only a couple of days ago

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Man With The Twisted Lip
“It was soon evident to me that [Sherlock Holmes] was now preparing for an all-night sitting. He took off his coat and waistcoat, put on a large blue dressing-gown, and then wandered about the room collecting pillows from his bed, and cushions from the sofa and armchairs. With these he constructed a sort of Eastern divan, upon which he perched himself cross-legged, with an ounce of shag tobacco and a box of matches laid out in front of him.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m01j6i9I7n1r06zd4o1_r1_400.gif)

It was upon the 4th of March, as I have good reason to remember, that I rose somewhat earlier than usual, and found that Sherlock Holmes had not yet finished his breakfast.
